Get Attribute: spawnIndexInStrip

Menu Path : Operator > Attribute > Get Spawn Index In Strip

The Get Spawn Index In Strip operator returns the spawn index of the particle in the particle strip the particle belongs to. Unlike the particleIndexInStrip attribute, which is unique for each particle within a strip, this value can be the same for two or more particles in the same strip.
